Hi @ppasel,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
I understand you want to reset the firmware on your HP OfficeJet 8610 to factory defaults. Let’s go through a few steps to do this safely.
Power On the Printer
Make sure the printer is turned on and in a ready state (not blinking or printing).
Access the Printer Menu
On the printer control panel, press the Setup (gear icon) button.
Navigate to Printer Maintenance or Tools (menu names may vary slightly).
Restore Factory Defaults
Select Restore or Restore Factory Defaults.
Confirm when prompted.
The printer will restart automatically.
Reset Network Settings (Optional)
If you also want to reset Wi-Fi and network settings, navigate to Network Setup → Restore Network Defaults.
Confirm and wait for the printer to restart.
Verify Reset
After the restart, the printer should display the initial setup screen.
Reconfigure language, region, and network settings as needed.
I hope this helps.
